Fire Salamander Database

[Ben W]

I am often asked if i know where a particular salamandra can be sourced.
And i know there maybe rare/ unusual varieties out there, which could help towards captive breeding programmes.
Some of mine are loaned out for breeding on a 50/50 split on resulting young.

Therefore I am proposing to set up a database with information on who has what in the way of salamandra sub species,so that this information can be shared amongst fire salamander enthusiasts.

This would be totally voluntary, but would obviously only work if people are prepared to participate.

For this to work, I would need the keepers name and contact details, be it mobile number or email address, location, the species kept and whether they are kept for pleasure or breeding, or both.

The information would be kept on a separate memory stick and any enquiry I receive will be passed to the person who has the salamanders and they can then contact the enquirer. No information will be passed to a third party and wont be publicly accessible.

This is how i would see it working:

Person A has 2 female Terrestris and is looking for a male as they would like to try breeding them.They contact me with the enquiry.
I check the database and find Person B has male Terrestris.
I contact person B giving them the name and contact details of Person A.
The rest is up to them, i get nothing from this and would take no responsibility from the outcome.


I would like some feedback on this, do you think this would work, any thoughts would be appreciated.

And if you like to pm me your details we can start.

Thanks for looking and hopefully taking part.

Thanks to all who have contributed so far,
there are plenty more fire sal keepers out there, doent matter if they are too small to breed or you only have 1 individual.
